How Kids Navigate Friendships (Without Guessing What’s Going On)
Hi, my thriving friends! Happy Friday! As we dive into the weekend with our kiddos, here's something to ponder on...🥰
After volunteering at my two boys’ schools (and being present for their activities over the years)...
I’ve noticed something that hasn’t really changed.
A lot of kids are learning how to understand their feelings (which is amazing 🥳).
But even when they DO understand their emotions…
They still struggle with things like:
- Missing social cues
- Feeling unsure in group projects
- Having low self-confidence in social situations
- “Why is making friends so confusing?”
- “What did I do wrong?”
And it made me wonder…
👉 What if the missing piece isn’t just emotional skills…
👉 But understanding other people? And social situations?
I’m exploring something around helping kids:
- Read social cues
- Understand what others might be feeling
- Navigate conversations and friendships more easily
These topics are already hard, especially for ADHD adults. So I could imagine how much harder it could be for kiddos!
Before I build anything, I’m curious:
💬 What’s one social situation your child finds confusing or hard to navigate?
Even one word or a short example helps me understand what’s really happening with children nowadays.
👉 If answering a poll is easier: Where do you see children struggle the most?
Thanks in advance!
A) Understanding what others are feeling
B) Making or keeping friends
C) Knowing what to say in conversations
D) Handling misunderstandings or conflict
